Saudi Labor Law, Ramadan and the 12-Hour Limit

gavel

Standard Hours & the 6-Day Limit

Standard working time is capped at 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week (Art. 98). Since the 2025 reform, an additional rule applies: no more than 6 consecutive working days without a full rest day.

Ramadan: Shorter Shifts, Automatically

For Muslim staff, actual working hours mandatorily drop during شهر رمضان (Shahr Ramadan) to a maximum of 6 hours per day or 36 hours per week — recalculated every year for exactly this group.

timer_off

12-Hour Presence Limit (Art. 101)

No employee may remain at the workplace (التواجد في مكان العمل) for more than 12 hours — including breaks, prayer and meal times. In addition, after a maximum of 5 hours of continuous work, a break of at least 30 minutes is mandatory.

Rules & calendar

A calendar that follows the moon

In Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development decrees all four official public holidays centrally — uniformly across the whole Kingdom, with no provincial or municipal level like in Europe. The real challenge lies elsewhere: the two religious holidays, whose exact date is only confirmed at short notice by moon sighting.

  • place
    Uniform nationwide, no regional level Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, National Day on September 23 and Founding Day on February 22 apply unchanged across the whole Kingdom — for the public and private sector alike, with no cantonal or municipal exceptions.
  • layers
    Mix calendars A business based in Riyadh or Dhahran with partners in the Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain or Oman needs several country calendars running at once — moon sightings occasionally differ by a day between Gulf states, as they did between Saudi Arabia and Oman in 2023.
  • tune
    Binding or purely informational For each calendar, you decide whether a holiday affects hours & premiums — or simply appears as a reminder.
Holiday rules in Klacks: holidays by nation and region — Germany, the USA (Alaska), and the Swiss cantons of Lucerne, Jura, Glarus and Appenzell

How Klacks Takes the Load Off Businesses in Saudi Arabia

From automatic 12-hour monitoring to your own infrastructure — it all fits together.

gavel

Standard Hours & 6-Day Limit Monitored

Klacks knows the 8h/48h limit (Art. 98) and the new rule of max. 6 consecutive working days without a rest day — Klacks monitors both limits live and warns in time before either is exceeded. On request, Klacks blocks the excess as a hard block.

nightlight

Ramadan Hours Reduced Automatically

For Muslim staff, Klacks automatically schedules with the reduced 6h/36h limit (Art. 98) during Ramadan — without manually reworking the entire plan.

timer_off

12-Hour Limit Monitored Live (Art. 101)

Klacks monitors shift sequences live and warns immediately if a person would be kept at the workplace for more than 12 hours — including breaks, prayer and meal times. On request, Klacks enforces such violations as a hard block: in block mode, a new violation can only be saved with documented supervisor approval (configurable per rule type).

payments

Overtime Premium under Art. 107

The statutory premium of 50% on the base wage (effectively 150%) is calculated automatically — since the 2025 reform, optionally also as paid time off in lieu.

groups

Nitaqat Saudization Tracked

Klacks documents the employment data for each Saudi employee as the basis for Nitaqat classification — whether the GOSI salary threshold for the full quota unit (1.0 from SAR 4,000, 0.5 for SAR 3,000 to 3,999) is met is calculated by your payroll system.

On-Premise: Data Stays in Saudi Arabia

Klacks runs on your own infrastructure, and you choose the AI model. Sensitive personnel and scheduling data (البيانات الشخصية الحساسة) stays physically within KSA — eliminating the cross-border compliance burden under PDPL/SDAIA.

Klacksy: Rule-Based, No Black Box

The built-in Klacksy AI assistant schedules by voice command — transparently, based on defined skills and rules, not as an opaque AI decision.

Test Plan Changes Risk-Free

Before a plan change goes live, you can run it through as an isolated copy — the 12-hour presence limit (Art. 101) and premiums are calculated live exactly as in the real plan. Only once everything checks out do you apply the variant; until then, your live schedule stays untouched. This lets you prepare a suitable scenario in advance for foreseeable situations — such as a staff member calling in sick or a sudden spike in orders — so you're ready to act immediately when it matters, instead of improvising under time pressure. There's no artificial limit on the number of scenarios — create as many as your planning needs.

AI Assistant

Klacksy: The Built-In Assistant for Your Team

Klacksy isn’t a bolted-on marketing chatbot — it’s embedded directly in the Klacks interface. Staff and schedulers ask about shift times via chat or check availability. A built-in skills and rules system ensures Klacksy makes transparent suggestions — never a black-box decision. For businesses with strict PDPL/SDAIA compliance requirements, the AI model can also be hosted locally in Saudi Arabia.

In Practice

Ramadan Shifts and the 12-Hour Limit, at a Glance

Klacks automatically detects when a shift during Ramadan would exceed the reduced 6h/36h limit, or when a shift sequence would keep an employee at the workplace for more than 12 hours (Art. 101) — and suggests the correction right away.
